It was cute. It was a darker version of a fairytale retelling compared to others. Serena Valentino writes good, dark fairytale retellings.
The poisoned apple on the cover of The Odd Sisters I thought was very clever and made it that much more exciting to read.
With the poisoned apple on the cover and various witches mentioned throughout the plot, The Odd Sisters would be a good book to read during Halloween or Fall.

All of the build up so far really paid off in this book for me and I loved learning more of the Odd Sisters and the impacts their interference has had on others and the reaction of those such as Nanny and the Fairy Godmother and I loved following the journey Circe took to further understand them and form her own opinion on them rather than solely listening to the words of others.

Honestly pleasantly surprised by the book. I think a lot of it has do with the fact that I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job, but I think this storyline was also much better.
It's still not the best writing and I think the whole concept of all the Disney villains existing in one world is ridiculous, but since this was more focused on the Odd Sisters, which are an original concept, it was definitely more enjoyable. Also, surprisingly, the Odd Sisters weren't in this story a lot and since they annoyed me so much in the previous books this was a lot better. With the book ending the way it did, I'm more hopeful with the series going forward now that my biggest issues are kind of out of the way.
